Historical Artifacts

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

I like the idea that the date is not just historically vague, but literally completely unknown.

Yeah, it could be three thousand years old, or maybe someone made it in their garage last Tuesday. Fuck if I know!

lmao, that's what I get for posting first thing when I wake up. Fixed the title.
